Prosafe owns and /operates seven semi-submersible accommodation vessels and one Tender Support Vessel (TSV) that is currently providing accommodation support services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Prosafe is also the manager and operator of an accommodation monohull that is 25% owned by the company.
Furthermore, Prosafe has an agreement with COSCO shipyard for flexible delivery and long-term financing of three new build harsh environment vessels: Safe Eurus, Safe Nova and Safe Vega. These vessels are nearing completion with a planned preservation and strategic stacking mode in the yard and can be ready for worldwide operations from 2019.
Prosafe's fleet consists of dynamically positioned vessels and two anchored vessels. Thereby, the fleet is versatile and able to operate in all offshore environments globally.
Prosafe's operations are amongst other related to maintenance and modification on fields already in production, hook-up and commissioning of new fields, tie-backs to existing infrastructure and decommissioning.
Accommodation vessels offer additional accommodation, engineering, construction or storage capacity offshore. Prosafe's vessels have accommodation capacity for 200-500 people and offer high quality welfare and catering facilities, storage, workshops, offices, medical services, deck cranes and lifesaving and fire fighting equipment. The vessels are positioned alongside the host installation and are connected by means of a telescopic gangway so that personnel can walk to work.
Prosafe has a strong track record from demanding operations world wide, with first class operational performance and good safety results. The company has extensive experience from operating gangway connected to fixed installations, FPSOs, TLPs, Semis and Spars.
The company's track record comprises operations offshore Norway, UK, Mexico, USA, Brazil, Denmark, Tunisia, West Africa, North-West and South Australia, the Philippines and Russia.
Prosafe is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS.
In January 2019, Prosafe came first in an online auction for the supply of safety and maintenance support vessels towards three-year contracts in Brazil. There now follows a compliance evaluation process before a contract will be formally awarded. Prosafe will mobilize the Safe Eurus if a contract is awarded.

The directors present their annual report of Prosafe SE (the "Company" or the "Parent Company") and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries referred to as the "Group" or "Prosafe") together with the Group's and the Parent Company's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018
This report shall be deemed to be the management report for the purposes of the Cyprus Companies law.
Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation support vessels for offshore projects.
Prosafe's vessels are primarily serving oil and gas operating companies as end clients on various offshore projects in key offshore oil and gas provinces. In recent history, the majority of the work has been related to existing producing fields ('brownfield'), whereas the remainder has been related to hook-up and commissioning of new developments ('greenfield'). Accommodation support vessels may also be used for decommissioning of offshore installations.
The main geographical markets for the Prosafe vessels are currently the North Sea and Brazil, while historically Mexico has also been an important market and is anticipated to again become a market in the future.
The vessels are normally provided on a time charter basis where Prosafe mans and operates the vessels directly.
The Parent Company is legally domiciled in Cyprus and is the ultimate owner of all group companies. On 3 May 2018, the company moved tax domicile to Norway. The company is in process of moving legal domicile to Norway and this is expected to occur during 2019 pending approval by a General Meeting in May 2019.
(The figures in brackets correspond to the 2017 comparatives)
Operating revenues totalled USD 330.8 million in 2018 (2017: USD 283.0 million), with utilisation' of the fleet increasing to 47.3% (38.4%). The increase in utilisation reflects higher activity in the North Sea market.
The increase in operating revenues is due to higher utilisation, although partly offset by lower average day rates as a result of the industry recession over the last few years. In addition, the operating revenues in 2018 includes a total of USD 23.1 million relating to IFRS 15 adjustment which was mainly resulted from the restatement of revenues previously recognised relating to a re-phasing charge of USD 30 million relating to the contract with Statoil for the Mariner project, as well as a mobilisation fee of USD 17 million relating to the Safe Notos contract in Brazil.
Operating expenses increased to USD 164.2 million (USD 152.1 million) as a result of higher utilisation.
1 Utilisation = actual vessel days in operiod / possible vessel days in the period x 100 for 100% owned vessels
Depreciation and impairment amounted to USD 113.6 million including an impairment charge of USD 573.9 million). Lower depreciation is due to the lower carrying value of the assets following the impairments carried out in Q3 2017.
The operating profit amounted to USD 53.0 million (USD 578.2 million operating loss).
Interest expenses totalled USD 173.3 million). The increase in 2018 is mainly due to non-cash and one-off effects totalling USD 105.1 million relating to the re-financing in August and amortisation and discontinuation of the cashflow hedge reserve balance (for further information, refer to note 15 of the consolidated accounts relating to re-financing and note 19 of the consolidated accounts for amortisation and discontinuation of the cashflow hedge reserve). The modification of amortised cost resulted from a reduction of the annual amortizations until final maturity for the USD 1,300 million loan facility and the increased margin under the new financing terms agreed in August 2018.
Financial items other than interest expenses amounted to USD 13.4 million positive (USD 16.9 million positive).
Share of loss from the associated company (25% of share interests) amounted to USD 1.7 million (USD 3.1 million)
Taxes for 2018 in the amount of USD 5.9 million (USD 7.8 million) were mainly relating to operations in UK and Brazil, partially offset by a full reduction of deferred taxes in Norway as a consequence of the tax relocation from Cyprus to Norway.
Net loss amounted to USD 114.5 million (net loss of USD 647.1 million), resulting in diluted earnings per share of USD 1.3 negative (USD 7.35 negative).
Total assets amounted to 1,736.8 million (USD 1,947.0 million) at the end of 2018. Investments in tangible assets totalled USD 8.7 million). The investments in 2018 mainly relate to the five-yearly special periodic survey for Safe Scandinavia and main engines overhaul for Safe Concordia
As of year-end 2018, the Group had total liquid assets (cash and deposits) of USD 140.3 million (USD 231.9 million). In addition, the Group had USD 137 million available under a committed credit facility. The total liquidity reserve (liquid assets plus undrawn credit facilities) totalled USD 277.3 million (USD 231.9 million). Total restricted cash at year-end 2018 was USD 8.8 million (USD 5.3 million).
In August 2018 Prosafe agreed certain amendments of the loan facilities to support the strategic transformation of the Company and to significantly improve its financial position in the years ahead by way of continued covenant relief, continued reduced amortizations and additional financial flexibility to support the continued renewal of its fleet.
Total shareholders' equity amounted to USD 400.2 million (USD 497.6 million), resulting in an equity ratio of 23% (26%).
Interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 1,243.0 million (USD 1,347.7 million) at year-end. Repayments of debt totalled USD 155.2 million (USD 47.4 million).
The interest-bearing debt agreements are subject to termination, repayment or buy back clauses in the event of a change of control of the Company (as control is defined in the relevant agreements).
Net cash-flow in 2018 was USD 91.6 million negative (USD 26.2 million negative). The key reason for a negative net cash flow was mainly due to the repayment of USD 137 million into a committed credit facility. Net cash-flow from operating activities amounted to USD 147.1 million positive. The difference between the operating profit before depreciation and impairment of USD 166.6 million and cash flow from operating activities of USD 147.1 million mainly relates to IFRS 15 adjustment this year. Total net investment in 2018 amounted to only USD 3.2 million. Gross investment was USD 8.7 million, which was mostly related to normal vessel maintenance works including Special Periodic Survey (SPS) for the Safe Scandinavia, and partially offset by proceeds from sale of tangible assets - mainly the Safe Astoria that was sold for scrap for USD 2.1 million.
The operating profit for the year amounted to USD 31.1 million (loss of USD 738.9 million which included impairment charges relating to investments in subsidiaries of USD 745.2 million). Net financial loss amounted to USD 161.4 million (USD 45.9 million). Net loss for the year equalled USD 131.2 million which includes other comprehensive loss of USD 0.8 million relating to pension remeasurement (net loss of USD 785.5 million).
Total net assets for the year amounted to USD 506.1 million (USD 582.9 million).
As at year-end, the fleet comprised eight fully owned vessels plus three new builds in progress. Six old vessels have been scrapped since mid-2016. In addition Prosafe owns 25% in Dan Swift Pte. Ltd. which owns the DP-2 accommodation monohull Safe Swift.
Specifications for each of the vessels and details of the current vessel contracts can be found on the Company's website http://www.prosafe.com/accommodation-vessels/.
In August 2018 Prosafe reached an agreement with Cosco allowing for flexible delivery and long-term financing of Safe Eurus, Safe Nova and Safe Vega. This agreement, combined with Prosafe's scrapping of six vessels over the last three years, transforms its fleet in to a modern and competitive fleet with improved earnings potential for the long term. The Safe Nova and Safe Vega remain in strategic stacking mode with Cosco in China until Prosafe takes delivery.
Safe Scandinavia completed a TSV contract with Equinor at Oseberg at the end of June 2018. Following a yard stay the Safe Scandinavia has been operating at Aker BP's Ula platform on the Norwegian Continental Shelf since 1 September 2018, and was in full operation throughout the year. The contract has a duration of seven months with eight one-month options.
Safe Zephyrus commenced a 12-month contract for Equinor at Johan Sverdrup in Norway in early May 2018 and was in operation throughout the year. On 11 October 2018, Safe Zephyrus was awarded a contract by BP to provide gangway connected operations at the Clair Ridge platform West of Shetland in the UK sector of the North Sea. The duration of the contract is five months with a onemonth option, and is scheduled to commence mid-May 2019 directly following the completion of the Johan Sverdrup contract.
Safe Notos commenced its three-year and 222-day contract for Petrobras on 7 December 2016 and was fully contracted in the year.
Safe Boreas commenced a 13-month contract for Statoil at the Mariner installation in the UK in early August 2017 and was in operation throughout 2018. On 24 September 2018, Equinor and Prosafe agreed an addendum to the contract which extends through June 2019 with additional six one-month options.
Safe Concordia commenced a 200-day contract with MODEC to support FPSO maintenance in Brazil on 24 October 2018.
Safe Caledonia completed a six-month contract for BP at the Clair Ridge platform in the UK in late November 2018 and is now laid-up at Scapa Flow in the UK. She is scheduled to commence work for a major oil and gas operator in the UK sector from mid-April 2019 with a firm duration of four months and up to two months of options. On 24 December 2018, Safe Caledonia was awarded an 80-day contract in the UK sector of the North Sea commencing June 2020 with 30 days of options.
Regalia has been idle throughout 2018. On 24 December 2018, Regalia was chartered for a 60-day contract in the UK sector of the North Sea commencing June 2019 with 30 days of options. Regalia will be reactivated to perform gangway connected DP operations. The reactivation period will commence within Q1 2019 and include her five yearly special periodic survey in line with classification society requirements.
Safe Bristolia has been idle throughout the year and is cold-stacked in Norway,
Safe Astoria was sold for scrap in late 2018.
In November 2018 the PSA issued an order in relation to non-conformances on the Safe Zephyrus. The company submitted a plan for close out and to ensure subsequent compliance in January 2019.
Prosafe remains committed to safe and compliant operations at all times.
On 8 March 2018, the Stavanger City Court issued its judgement in favour of Prosafe in respect of the dispute between Westcon Yards AS (Westcon) and Prosafe Rigs Pte. Ltd. relating to the conversion of the Safe Scandinavia into a tender support vessel. The Court decided that Westcon must pay Prosafe NOK 344 million plus interest and NOK 10.6 million legal costs. Westcon filed an appeal, and Prosafe filed a counter appeal on 28 May 2018. Prosafe will continue to pursue its case in order to improve on the result in the first instance. The timing for next court hearing is uncertain, but the first half of 2020 is likely. Meanwhile, Prosafe is pursuing the best possible security for the claim.
The oil and gas industry is characterized by high cyclicality and continuous changes which impact activity levels, price levels and planning horizons, requiring continuous risk and opportunity management and adaptability.
During the down cycle in recent years, many service segments have seen a significant reduction in activity and that includes demand for offshore accommodation vessels. The Mexican market which used to be a key market for many years dropped all requirements for non-Mexican accommodation equipment in early 2016. Also the Brazilian market has been quiet until the end of 2018, while the company's activity through the down cycle has been primarily upheld by hook-up contracts related to the support of new field installation in the North Sea that were entered into before the down cycle.
During late 2017 and 2018, the offshore market has, however, started to show signs of gradual recovery, and Prosafe has secured a number of new contract extensions during 2018. The result is that all fully owned vessels other than the Safe Bristolia and the three undelivered new builds in China have secured contracts for all or parts of 2019.
The most important feature for the North Sea market is the return of activity related to maintenance and modification which traditionally has been the main activity driver.
Brazil is an important market. In January 2019, Prosafe came first in an online auction for the supply of safety and maintenance support vessels towards three-year contracts in Brazil. There now follows a compliance evaluation process before a contract will be formally awarded. Prosafe will mobilize the Safe Eurus if a contract is awarded. Total contract value is estimated to be above USD 80 million. Another long-term contract for Safe Eurus in Brazil would be in line with Prosafe's strategy and guidance, and it would create synergies with the Safe Notos and Safe Concordia already on charter offshore Brazil.
The production ambitions of the new Mexican administration are high, and it is positive that tender activity is ongoing in other segments. Prosafe continues its efforts in Mexico to be well positioned when opportunities arise again in the accommodation segment.
Total order backlog 2 as of 31 December 2018 amounted to USD 287.4 million (USD 340 million) of which USD 209.3 million related to firm contracts and USD 78.1 million related to options. Secured utilisation for 2019 is 42%. For 2020, secured utilisation is currently 9.5%.
The supply side has seen a positive development since 2016 with a reduction in the number of available units, largely supported by Prosafe which has scrapped six vessels to date. In addition, one competitor has scrapped one unit. More scrapping is anticipated over the coming years, as well as further consolidation activities.
Tendering activity has continued to pick up with opportunities arising both in the North Sea and internationally. A main driver for this increase is maintenance and modification work being sanctioned as a result of higher oil prices. While the current pricing and backlog do not support earnings growth in 2019, the company anticipates that utilisation will continue to improve in 2020 with an improvement in day rates to follow.
Against this backdrop, Prosafe will focus on opportunities that will allow the company to continue taking delivery of its new builds. In addition, Prosafe continues to pursue efficiencies and intends to be proactive in fleet enhancement and industry restructuring.
Prosafe categorises its primary risks under the following headings: strategic, operational, financial and compliance related. The Company's board and senior officers manage these risk factors through continuous risk assessments, reporting and periodic reviews in management and board meetings, and as part of rolling strategy and planning processes.
The Company aims to create shareholder value by allocating capital and resources to the business opportunities that yield the best return relative to the risk involved within its specified strategic direction
Prosafe seeks to reduce its exposure to operational, financial and compliance related risk through proper operating routines, the use of financial instruments and insurance policies.
Market risk comprises of macro factors such as oil price and industry specific factors such as supply/demand balance and competitive position. Demand for accommodation units is sensitive to oil price fluctuations and changes in exploration and production spending.
2 Order backlog = amount of contracted revenue not recognised in income statement yet
The Company is exposed to financial risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk, financing and liquidity risk and credit and counterparty risk.
The Company reports in USD and generates income in USD, whereas a large part of its operating costs are in other currencies such as NOK and GBP. This exposure as identified based on rolling forecasts is hedged according to the Company's approved Finance Policy. The interest rate risk is largely hedged by the use of interest rate swaps or cap structures for normally 70 - 100% of the debt.
The Company carries out credit checks on clients as part of its tendering processes and has a history of minimal loss from debtors. There are no material overdue receivables as of year-end. Further information on financial risk management is provided in note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.
An account of the main features of Prosafe's risk management process is available on its website at http://www.prosafe.com/risk-management/category894.html
Internal control is ensured in accordance with Prosafe's policies and procedures which aim to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of its operations, reliability of its financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These policies and procedures are designed, inter alia, to safeguard assets and protect from accidental loss or fraud.
In addition, the policies and procedures are reinforced by the organisation and the competence of its personnel, segregation of duties, regular risk assessments and internal reporting, management meetings, board meetings and the audit committee, together with external audit and public reporting and communication.
In respect of internal controls relating to the preparation of financial statements, the board of directors demonstrates independence from management and exercises oversight of the development and performance of internal control. Management establishes, with board oversight, structures, reporting lines, and appropriate authorities and responsibilities in the pursuit of objectives. In addition to the ongoing reviews by the senior officers, annual reviews and assessments are carried out which are approved by the board in respect of risk management and internal controls. The risk register forms the basis for the action plan which further represents a main and continuous agenda item for both management and the board to ensure that all key risks and opportunities are appropriately discussed and followed up by management and the board in the form of strategies and mitigating actions.
The Company is committed to attract, develop, and retain competent individuals in alignment with its objectives. The Company holds individuals accountable for their internal control responsibilities in the pursuit of its objectives.
The Company identifies and analyses risks which may potentially affect the achievement of its objectives and how these should be managed. It also considers the potential for fraud, and identifies and assesses changes that could significantly affect the system of internal control.
The Company selects, develops and deploys controls for the mitigation of risks related to the achievement of its financial reporting objectives, including controls over technology. It deploys these controls through policies and procedures and reporting.
Prosafe carries out regular reviews to ascertain whether the internal controls are present and functioning, and evaluates and communicates any internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action, including senior management and the board of directors, as appropriate. Audits carried out by external parties like the financial auditor, clients and
regulatory authorities and the reporting and follow-up of these are important elements to ensure continuous focus on and improvement of internal controls.
A detailed presentation of what the Company does to integrate considerations relating to human rights, labour rights and social conditions, the external environment and anti-corruption efforts in its business strategies, daily operations and in relation to its stakeholders is given in Prosafe's annual Communication on progress to UN Global Compact. The report can be found on the Company's website with direct link https://www.prosafe.com/communication-on-progress/category495.html
Robust HSE performance is fundamental to all of Prosafe's operations and is therefore reflected in its core values. As a consequence, Prosafe works proactively and systematically to reduce injuries and absence.
In 2018, Prosafe recorded one incident classified as a Lost Time Injury (LT), i.e. those injuries resulting in an employee being absent from the next work shift due to the injury.
The LTI frequency is calculated by multiplying the number of LTIs by 1 million and dividing this by the total number of man-hours worked. In 2018, the LTI frequency was 0.85, as compared to 1.52 in 2017.
Prosafe operates a zero accident mind-set philosophy which means that no accidents or serious incidents are acceptable. A number of initiatives have been implemented over the years in order to further strengthen the safety culture. These and new initiatives will be continuously developed in order to improve safety performance further.
Sick leave was 2.07% in 2018, a decrease from 2.53% in 2017.
Prosafe had no accidental discharges to the natural environment in 2018 and continues to actively reduce emissions by investing its fleet and fuel efficient equipment and by pursuing continuous improvement in operating procedures and practices.
Prosafe had 417 employees at the end of 2018 (average 401), compared with 430 in the previous year (average 517). Prosafe's global presence was reflected in the fact that its employees came from 24 countries around the world. The overall voluntary employee turnover in the group was 8.5% in 2018, compared with 5.9% in 2017.
Prosafe operates an equal opportunity policy including gender equality. Men have, however, traditionally made up a greater proportion of the recruitment base for offshore operations, and this is reflected in Prosafe's gender breakdown. As of 31 December 2018, women accounted for 11.3% of all employees, compared with 14.2% in 2017. Onshore the proportion of women was 40.6%, as compared to 43.2% in 2017.
Women constituted 25.0% of the managers as at 31 December 2018, compared with 16.7% at the end of 2017.
Prosafe aims to offer the same opportunities to all and there is no discrimination with respect to recruitment, remuneration or promotion, due to age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, nationality, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
Corporate governance in the Company is based on the principles contained in the Norwegian code of practice for corporate governance of 17 October 2018. There are no significant deviations between the code of practice and the way it has been implemented during 2018. The Company's full corporate governance report is set out on the Company's website at http://www.prosafe.com/norwegian-code-ofpractice/category32.html.
Significant shareholdings are presented in note 14 to the financial statements and on the Company's website at http://www.prosafe.com/largest-shareholders/category160.html
Corporate governance is a key focus for the Company in order to strengthen confidence in Prosafe among shareholders, the capital market and other interested parties, and to help ensure maximum value creation over time in the best interest of shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
The members of the board of directors at 31 December 2018 and at the date of this report are set out on page 13.
Apart from Nancy Eroticritou, who resigned on 27 April 2018, all members of the board were directors throughout the year. There were no significant changes in the responsibilities of the members of the board of directors. The remuneration of the board of directors is disclosed in note 6 to the financial statements.
The Articles of Association of the Company provide for all directors to serve for a period of two years unless the general meeting decides that a director shall serve for a specified period shorter than two years. Currently the directors are appointed for only one year. All directors are due for re-election in 2019.
As at 31 December 2018, the only director (including associated parties) who held shares in the Company was Birgit Aagaard-Svendsen, owning 3,000 shares. Glen Ole Rødland has an indirect ownership interest in Prosafe through his ownership interest in HitecVision VII, L.P.
Information on the remuneration of the directors is provided in note 6 to the financial statements. There is no significant change in the assignment of responsibilities of the directors.
The board of directors confirms that the accounts have been prepared under the assumption that the Company is a going concern and that this assumption is realistic at the date of the accounts. This assumption is based on the results for the year and the Prosafe Group's long-term forecasts for the following years. Based on the successful completion of the loan facilities in August 2018, the board of directors concludes that the going concern assumption is justified.
The auditors of the Company, KPMG Limited, have expressed their willingness to continue in office. A resolution for authorising the board of directors to fix their remuneration will be submitted at the forthcoming annual general meeting. Reference to auditors' fee is made in note 6 to the consolidated accounts.
According to the shareholder register as at 31 December 2018, the 20 largest shareholders held a total of 74% of the issued shares. The number of shareholders was 4,929. North Sea Strategic Investments AS was the largest shareholder with a holding of 18.93% of the issued shares.
As at 31 December 2018, Prosafe had an issued share capital of 81,784,212 ordinary shares at a nominal value of EUR 0.10 each.
There are no restrictions in the articles of association related to the right to trade in the shares of the company. The company has well established and communicated internal procedures related to insider trading.
There are no share incentive schemes or shareholder agreements in place in the company.
The company's loan agreements include change of control clauses.
Further information on the share capital and changes thereon are shown in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
Prosafe's longer term aim is that its shareholders receive a competitive return on their shares through a combination of share price appreciation and a direct return in the form of dividends.
In November 2015, the board decided to suspend dividend payments. The board believes that this will be beneficial for the Company from a commercial, financial and strategic perspective, and that it will improve the Company's financial robustness and optionality. In addition, as part of the agreed amendments to its credit facilities, Prosafe has agreed that it will not issue any dividends, unless all deferred instalments have been prepaid or cancelled and a 12-month financial forecast has been provided which confirms compliance with the financial covenants.
Reference is made to note 26 to the consolidated accounts for a description of events after the balance sheet date.

Prosafe SE (the 'Company') is a public limited company domiciled in Nicosia, Cyprus. The registered office of the Company is 73 Metochiou Street, Engorni, CY-2407 Nicosia, Cyprus. The Company is a leading owner and operator of offshore accommodation vessels. The Company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group'). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 were approved and authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors on 13 March 2019.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap 113. The accounts have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars (USD), and all values are presented in USD million unless otherwise stated. In adding up rounded figures and calculating percentage rate of changes, slight differences may result compared with totals arrived at by adding up component figures which have not been rounded. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those in the previous financial years except IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. This is the first set of the Group's annual financial statements in which both IFRS 9 have been applied. The changes to significant accounting policies are described in detail below.
JUDGMENTS. The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The estimates and assumptions are assessed on a continuous basis. The estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements relate to depreciation, impairment assessment of non-financial assets and the modification of amortised cost. Estimated useful life of the Group's accommodation/service vessels is 30 to 50 years dependent on the age at the time of acquisition and subsequent refurbishments and as the economic life varies for the various component performs an impairment assessment of the fixed asset and whether the accumulated impairments need to be reversed in accordance with IFRS at least on an annual basis. The goodwill related to acquisition of Consafe Offshore AB has been fully impaired in 2017. However, impairment of shares in subsidiaries is a significant estimate required for the parent company accounts. As the consequence of refinancing this year, the carrying value of the loan under the new term needs to be adjusted by applying the revised effective interest rate so to reflect the new net present value of the loan. Estimates and assumptions are used in calculating the modification of amorised cost which was added into the carrying value of the same anount of financial costs were recognised.
As mentioned, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial vear except IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Other standard amendments and interpretations are also effective from 1 January 2018, but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements. Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying these standards, comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.
IFRS 15 is a joint revenue recognition standard issued from IASB and is effective from 1 January 2018, with earlier adoption allowed. The standard presents a single, principles-based five-step model for determination and recognition of revenue to be applied to all contracts with customers. The standard replaces existing IFRS requirements in IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IAS 18 Revenue, as well as supplemental IFRIC guidance. The Group has applied IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method – i.e. by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 January 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 and JAS 11. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are set out below.
Under IAS 18, revenue arising from the re-scheduling, mobilisation income are recognised when the rescheduling, mobilisation and demobilisation are completed. Revenue is recognised at which the customer acknowledged the completion of the re-scheduling, mobilisation, provided that all other criterias for revenue recognition are met. Under IFRS 15, revenue arising from the re-scheduling, mobilisation income are considered as part of one performance obligation with main charter income and is recognized over the charter period. Therefore, the lump sum from rescheduling and mobilisation revenue are deferred under IFRS 15 as opposed to under IAS 18. The demobilisation revenue is recognised earlier under IFRS 15 than under IAS 18.
A curnulative adjustment of USD 31.8 million is made in the 2018 opening balance of other equity with a corresponding increase in deferred income (other current liabilities). The adjustment was due to deferred recognition of mobilisation and re-scheduling fees as well as earlier recognition of demobilisation fees.

Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 contains three principal categones for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income "FVOC/" and fair value through profit or loss "FVTPL". The dassification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivalives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial assel in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
For financial assets held by the Group on 1 January 2018, management has assessed the business models that are applicable on that date to these assets so as to classify them into the appropriate categories under IFRS 9. Material reclassifications resulting from management's assessment are disclosed below. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group's accounting policies related to financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments.
IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCl, but not to investments in equily instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognised earlier than under IAS 39. For assets in the IFRS 9 impairment model, impairment losses are generally expected to increase and become more volatile,
The Group has the following financial assets subject to the ECL impairment model under IFRS 9: loans and receivables at amortised cost. The Group has determined that the application of FRS 9's impairments at 1 January 2018 does not result in material changes.
The following table and the accompanying notes below explain the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group's financial liabilities as at 1 January 2018.
The Group has used an exemption not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (induding impairments, Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirement of IFRS 9, but rather those of IAS 39.

There is no impact to the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities under IFRS 9 as at 1 January 2018.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2018 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below
The new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases is effective from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for recognition. measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases the existing IAS 17 and other quidance on lease accounting within IFRS. The new standard represents a significant change in lessees' accounting for leases but keeps the accounting model for lessors mainly unchanged.
IFRS 16 defines a lease as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For each contract this definition, IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet with cerain exemptions for short term and low value leases. Lease payments are to be reflected as interest expense and a reduction of lease liabilities, while the right-of-use assets are to be depreciated pver the lease term and the assets useful ife. The portion of lease payments of lease labilities and interest expense shall be classified as cash flows used in financing activities in the statement of cash flows,
The following policies and practical approach are applied by the Group upon transition:
· Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate 1 January 2019.
· Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liability.
· Leases for which the lease term ends during 2019 will be expensed as short term leases.
· Major lease liabilities for the Group comprise of leases of chartered-in vessels, office buildings, warehouses, transportation, logistics assets and other IT infrastructure and office equipment. The Group will separately expense services and other non-lease components embedded in lease contracts for office buildings and warehouses.
· For leases of other assets, the Group will capitalise non-lease components as part of the lease. All the leases in the Group will expire during 2019 except certain office buildings leases that will expire after 2019.
· The Group will apply the standard from its mandatory adoption date of 1 January 2019. The Group intends to apply the modified retrospective method and will not restate comparative amounts for the vear pror to first adoption. The Group will appy the short term exemption, which means that all lease with a lease term that ends in 2019 will be expensed as before and not capitalized upon transition. Subsequently, the Group will also apply the general short term exemption in IFRS 16 for leases of chartered-in vessels, office buildings, warehouses, transportation, logistics assets and other IT infrastructure and office equipment.
· The Group will apply the general low value exemption in IFRS 16 for leases of office and other equipment. This means that no low value leases of such assets will be capitalized and that lease payments will be expensed in profit or loss,
The effect on the adoption of the IFRS 16 on the consolidated financial statements is considered not to be Group's financial statement.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to intitial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. The Group's interest in equity-accounted interests in an associate. Unrealised gain anising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition related costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent condition date.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost be excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit and loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The presentation currency is USD. This is also the functional currency for the parent company. Transactions in other currencies than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary items in other currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the reporting date, and the currency difference is recognised in the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the transaction date. When consolidating companies with a functional currency other than the USD, profit and loss items are translated at the monthly average rate, while balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rate on the reporting date. Translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to that particular operation, is recognised in the income statement.
SEGMENT REPORTING. For management and monitoring purposes, the Group is organised into one segment; chartering and operation of accommodation/service vessels. For geographical information, reference is made to note 4.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
TANGIBLE ASSETS are recognised at cost less cumulative depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated economically useful lives, with account taken of their estimated residual value. Management makes annual assessments of residual value, methods of depreciation and the remaining economic ifre of the assets. Components of an asset which have an estimated shorter life than the main component of the asset are accordingly depreciated over this shorter period. Acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenditures are added to the book value of the asset or accounted for on a separate basis, when it is likely that future benefits would derive from the expenditures. The vessels are subject to a periodic survey every five years, and associated costs are amortised over the five-year period to the next survey. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.
Expenditures for new builds are capitalised, including instalments paid to the yard, project management costs, and costs relating to the initial preparation, mobilisation and commissioning until the vessel is placed into service. In accordance with IAS 23, borrowing costs are capitalised on qualifying assets.
Tangible fixed assets (other than rigs) are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lifetime as follows:
· Semi-submersible vessels - 30 to 50 years dependent on the acquisition and subsequent refurbishments
IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is deternined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is witten down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on a detailed forecast calculation which is prepared for the Group's cash generating units. The forecast calculation is generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long term terminal growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
For non-financial assets except goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a significant change in the assumptions used to deternine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount is lower than the carying amount, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets are initially recognised when the Group become a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured on following basis: i) financial assets at amortised cost; il) debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income "FVOCI"; iii) equity investments at FVOCI; and iv) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss "FVTPL".
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first reporting period following the changes in the business model.
| Financial assets at amortised cost |
A financial assel is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: - It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and - Its contractual terms give nse on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
|---|---|
| Debt investments at FVOCI | A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: - It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flow and selling financial assets; and - Its contractual terms give ise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
| Equity investments at FVOCI | On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on the investment-by-investment basis. |
| Financial assets at FVTPL | All financial assets not dassified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCl as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial assets that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost of a FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. |
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. Such instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is neqative.
Hedge accounting is not applied in the Group's financial statement. Any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value on derives during the year that do not qualify for hedge accounting and the ineffective portion of an effective hedge, are recognised in the income statement. The fair value of forward contracts is the discounted difference between the forward exchange rate and the contract price. The fair value of interest rate caps and swap cantracts is determined by reference to market price for similar instruments.
Derivative instruments that were not a designated and effective hedging instrument were classified as current on separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances.
When the Group held a derivative as an economic hevond 12 months after the balance sheet date or a denvalive instrument was designated as an effective hedging instrument. the fair value of the derivative instrument was classified as current or non-current consistent with the classification of the underlying item. Economic hedges were not treated as hedging for accounting purposes.
In the comparative period, financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable costs, with the exception of assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The Group's financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables and financial derivatives.
| Financial assets at amortised cost |
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. |
|---|---|
| Debt investments at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income caculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. |
| Equity investments at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net qains and losses are recognised in OCl and are never reclassified to profit or loss. |
| Financial assets at FVTPL | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss, |
| Financial assets at FVTPL | In the comparative period, financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carned in the balance sheet at fair value with gains and losses recognised in the income statement. |
|---|---|
| Loans and receivables | In the comparative period, loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such financial assets are carned at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. |
A financial asset is derecognised when the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifelime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured at 12 month expected credit loss:
debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables and assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable information that is relevant and available without undue cost of effort. This includes both quantitative information and analysis, based in the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
Measurement of expected credit losses:
-Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
-Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired, which is when one or more events that have a detimental impact on the estimated future cash flow of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
a breach of contract such as default or being more than 90 days past due;
the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; on
the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets as in the statement of financial position.
In the comparative period, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is imparcial asset or a group of financial assets are deemed to be impaired if, and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one occured after the intilal recognition of the assel and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The gross carying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is reasonable expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amount due.
Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9/IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable costs. The Group's financial liabilities include non-derivative financial instruments (trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, financial quarantee contracts) and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and liabilities held for trading. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IFRS 9/IAS 39. Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the income statement.
A financial liability is derecognised when the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques may indude using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Companies within the Group make contributions to pension schemes that are defined contribution plans. The companies' payments are recognised in the income statement for the year to which the contribution applies.
BORROWING COSTS. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. Other borrowing costs are capitalised as calculated using the effective interest method.
INCOME TAXES in the income statement include taxes payable and changes in deferred tax is calculated on the basis of temporary differences between book and tax values that exist at the end of the period. Deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that the tax benefit can be utilised. Deferred tax asset are measured at nominal value,
Income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected or paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
CASH AND DEPOSITS comprise cash at banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three morths or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
DIVIDEND distribution to the shareholders is recognised in the financial statements on the shareholders' ight to receive payment is established.
SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY. Any difference between the issue price of share capital and the nominal value is recognised as share premium. The costs incurred attributable to the issue of share capital are deducted from equity. Zero coupon convertible bonds and warrants that will be settled by the Company by delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash are equity instruments and recognised in equity.

New builds include prepayment to the yard cost, owner-furnished equipment and other project costs incurred.
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the asset in accordance with IAS 23. As at 31 December 2018, the capitalised borrowing costs amount to USD 31.5 million (31 December 2017: USD 31.5 million).
Estimated useful life for the semi-submersible accommodation vessels is 30-50 years dependent on the age at the time of the acquisition and subsequent refurbishments. Certain equipment on a vessel is depreciated over a shorter period than the iffe of the vessel itself. The estimated scrap value per vessel is between USD 6 million. This estimate is based on steel prices and costs associated with scrapping and is reviewed on an annual basis.
Management performed an annual impairment assessment of the fixed assets in accordance with IFRS. Although market outlook has gradually improved in 2018, management has assessed that this is in the early phase of recovery and too early to conclude the market has permanently improved , Management looked at each individual vessel (including New builds) as a cash generating unit, and concluded that no impairment is required for the vessel and new builds based on the assumptions below.
An impairment charge of USD 0.8 milion is charge to a property held in Aberdeen office based on the latest market valuation.
The present value of the estimated cash flows from the cash-generating units, is based on the following inputs:
Pre-tax discount rate 8% (2017: 8%)
In 2017, the following impairment charges have been made as follows.
| Impairment | Recoverable amount | |
|---|---|---|
| Safe Scandinavia | 117.9 | 274.9 |
| Regalia | 116.9 | 75.7 |

Following an assessment of our legal structure to ensure an optimal organization of the Group decided to relocate the tax residency of 5 legal entities from respectively Cyprus and Singapore (3 legal entities which were tax residents in Cyprus, induding parent company Prosafe SE, and 2 vessel-owning legal entities which were tax residents in Singapore) to Norway in Q2 2018. The corporate tax rate in Norway for 2018 is 23% (2017 Cyprus tax rate is 12.5%). The corporate tax rate is 22% in Norway for 2019.
As a result of the relocation, there are deferred tax assets anising from the temporary timing differences between the carrying value of the vessels for accounting purpose and the value of the tax base in Norway. The value of the deferred tax assets are not recognized in the accounts as the probability of having sufficient future taxable profit to utilize the deferred tax assets as tax deductions cannot be established.
The deferred tax liability at the beginning of the year was carried forward from the past enforced departure of the vessel business from the Norwegian tonnage tax system. Following the relocation of the tax residency to Norway, there is no longer a basis for this deferred tax liability for the Group.

As part of the USD 1,300 million credit facility refinancing concluded during the year, the Group has issued the warrants to those lenders having elected to receive such increased margins. In total, 9,779,993 warrants have been issued, each of which gives right to subscribe for one new share in the company at a subscription price of NOK 21.37.

As a result, the Group has recognised USD 6,4 million in the equity as the warrants will be settled by delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash.
The warrants will be exercisable any time from and subject inter alia to the Group taking delivery of Safe Nova and the next 3 years from such respective delivery dates, however so that any duration exceeding 5 years from the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be subject to approval of subsequent general meeting. The Warrants are expected to be subject to certain customary adjustment mechanisms, including upon a failure to timely provide extension approval in which case the subscription price will be set to nominal value.

The credit facility of USD 1,300 million consists of two term loan tranches of USD 200 million and a revolving credit facility of USD 300 milion. Initially the term loan tranches were reduced semi-annually by USD 10 million. respectively. In August 2018 the amortisation to this facility were amended. 90 per cent of the originally scheduled repayments in the period 1 January 2017 through 2021 have been postponed and are final maturity date. The Group secured an option to extend the final maturity by one year, from February 2022 to February 2023. Assuming the extension option is exercised, for the additional year to maturity for the USD 1,300 million facility - from February 2022 to February 2023 - Prosafe will pay an additional 1.2% p.a. margin in the extension year (instead of the increase of 0.6% p.a.). If the extension option is exercised, all interest from February 2022 onwards is payable in cash with the exception of any adding to Safe Nova and Safe Vega. USD 19.5 million semi-annual instalments in 2022 in the extension option is exercised. As of 31 December 2018, there was USD 137 million available under the revolving credit facility.
Under IFRS 9, when a debt instrument is refinanced and the terms have been modified, it is necessary to assess whether the new terms are considered to have been substantially modified, and thereby conclude on the accounting treatment relating to the loan recognition.
Based on qualitative and quartitive tests proformed under IFRS 9, the Group has assessed that the refinancing as a non-substantial loan modification and it does not require in de-recognition of loan. Under a non-substantial loan modification that does not require in de-recognition of the financial liability. the carving values of the new terms needs to be reaculated by using revised cash flows and a revised effective interest rate so to reflect the new net present value of the modification of amortised cost of USD 56.8 million is estimated and has been added into the carrying value of the loan and the same amount of financial costs is being recognised in the profit and loss in this year. The amortised cost carried in the loan amount is mainly the effect from the reduction of the USD 1300 million facility amortization and the increased margin under the new financing term, and will be amortized over the remaining loan periods. See note 10 on modification of the amortised as financial expenses.
This credit facility, which has a maturity of seven years, consists of one tranche of USD 144 million. The first one was drawn upon delivery of Safe Notos in February 2016, and initially there were a second available tranche (Safe Eurus), this tranche was cancelled in 2018, when financing for Eurus were agreed with Cosco. In September 2016 the amortisation profile relating to this facility were amended. Prior to the amendment, the term loan tranches were reduced quarterly by USD 3 million, starting three months after delivery of the tranche security. 90 per cent of the originally scheduled repayments for the period 1 January 2017 until 30 June 2019 have been postponed and are to be repaid on the final maturity date. For the period 1 July 2019 until 31 December 2020, 70 per cent of the scheduled repayments for the Safe Notos tranches have been postponed until the final maturity date.
There is a cash sweep mechanism with testing 31 March and 30 September. Any excess cash over USD 155 million threshold shall be shared between lenders (90%) and the company (10%). Once Safe Nova and Safe Vega are delivered, the excess cash will be reduced with the initial cash payment for the three new builds (Safe Eurus USD 50 million, Safe Nova USD 25 million, Safe Vega USD 25 million). Any new shareholder contributions shall be subtracted from excess cash, and not swept.

Assets measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1 -Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The currency forwards and interest swaps are valued based on current exchange rates and forward curves.
The Group operates on a global basis with cash flows and financing in various currencies. This means that the Group is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Group's presentation currency is USD, and financial risk exposure is managed with financial in accordance with internal policies and standards approved by the board of directors.
The Group is exposed to currencies other than USD associated with operating expenditure, tax, cash and deposits. Cash and deposits are mainly denominated in USD, GBP and NOK.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant exchange rates and reflects on profit or loss and equity assuming that occurred at the balance sheet date. A 10% strengthening/weakening of the USD against NOK and GBP will have the following effects. Exposures to foreign currences are not material.

Interest on debt is in principle floating, but has been hedged to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments through the use of interest rate swaps and caps agreements. The Group evaluates the hedge profile in relation to the repayment schedule of its loans, the Group's portfolio of contracts, cash flow and cash in hand. The interest rate iss largely hedged by the use of interest rate swaps or cap structures for normally 70-100% of the debt.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant forward curves and reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at the balance sheet date. A forward curve shift of ±50bps (2017: ±100bps) is applied in the analysis.

The Group ceased hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps on 30 June 2016. Under IFRS 9, when an entity discontinues hedge accounting for a cashflow hedge and the amount accumulated in the cashflow hedge reserve is a loss, this amount should be immediately reclassified from the reserve into profit or loss if the entity does will be recovered in one or more future periods. The Group has assessed the discontinued cashflow hedge reserve balance and concluded that the amount is not expected to be recovered in the future periods due to the interest rate development and forward curve. As a consequence of this assessment, the reserve balance of USD 48,3 million is taken into profit or loss. See note 10 on amortisation relating to abandonment of hedge recognised as financial expenses.
In line with industry practice, other contracts normally contain clauses which give the customer an opportunity for early cancellation under specified conditions. Providing the Group has not acted neglinently, however, the effect on results in such cases will normally be wholly or partly offset by a financial settlement in the company's favour. Following a potential notice of convenience termination, the customer will have to pay the Group a substantial part of the remaining contract value.
Credit assessment of financial institutions issuing quarantees in favour of the Group, vards, sub-contractors and equipment suppliers is part of the Group's project evaluations and risk analyses.
The counterparty risk is in general limited when it comes to the Group's clients, since these are typically major oil companies and national oil companies.
As of 31 December 2018, there is no objective evidence that accounts receivable is impaired, and no impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement.

Prosafe is exposed to liquidity risk in a scenario when the Group's cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover payments of financial liabilities. Prosafe manages liquiding on a group level. In order to miligate the liquidity risk, Prosafe makes active use of a system for planning and forecasting the development of its liquidity, and utilises scenario analyses to secure stable and sound development in order to maintain sufficient cash to cover its financial and operational obligations.
As of 31 December 2018, Prosafe had an unresticted liquidity reserve totalling USD 268.5 million (unrestricted cash of USD 131.5 million plus USD 137 million in liquidity reserve under a committed revolving credit facility). Under the existing credit facility agreements, the Group is required to maintain minimum liquidity of USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for utilisation).
The continued challenging environment in the oil and gas increased the risk of reduced charter revenues in the short and mid term. On the other hand, the refinancing which was completed during 2016 and the spend reductions that have taken place have reduced the liquidity risk.
As of 31 December 2018, the Group's main financial liabilities had the following remaining contractual maturities (assuming the extension option for the USD 1300 million facility is not exercised):
| Per year | 2019 | 20920 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 -> |

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy capital structure in line with economic conditions. The Group manages the total of shareholders' equity and long term debt as their capital. The Group's man tool to assess its capital structure is the leverage ratio, which is calculated by dividing net interest-bearing debt including bank guarantees, by Group Gross profit before depreciation and impairment over the last 12 months.

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had three undelivered completed new builds residing at COSCO's Qidong shipyard in China: Safe Eurus, Safe Nova and Safe Vega,
Safe Eurus is in a preserved, strategic stacking mode and the Group has accrued lay-up cost for this vessel. In accordance with the previous agreement with COSCO, 50 percent of these costs are to be paid on delivery and the remaining 50 percent after delivery. During August 2018. Prosafe has re-negotiated the terms of the agreements with COSCO. Under the new term, If the Group successfully take delivery of the vessel by December 2019. COSCO will waive the accrued lay up cost incurred by the Group previously. Although the Group intends to take delivery of the vessel by 31 December 2019, it is probable that the Group may not have the contract firm up for Safe Eurus by the set timeline. In this scenario, the Group may need to re-negoliate the terms with COSCO in which COSCO might expect the lay up costs to be paid and with a similar level of lay-up costs to continue for any extended period. As the result, the Group continues to recognise the liability of USD 16.6 million relating to lay-up cost in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018.
In addition, the Group is committed to pay USD 50 million to COSCO upon taking delivery of Safe Eurus with the reminder of the cost to be be financed by COSCO. Repayment of yard finance and interest rates linked to future earnings and day rate achieved.
During the year, an agreement has been reached with COSCO. If the Group gives notice to COSCO within 5 years from August 2018 to take delivery of the vessels, the Group is committed to pay USD 25 million each upon delivery of the vessek and the reminder of the costs will be financed by COSCO. Similary to Safe Eurus, repayment of yard finance and interest rates linked to future earnings and day rate achieved.
On 8 March 2018, Stavanger City Court made a favourable decision in the court case regarding the dispute with Westcon Yards AS (Westcon). The dispute between Westcon and the Group was related to a substantial cost overrun of Westcon's price estimate for the conversion of the Safe Scandinavia to a tender support vessel. Westcon daimed an additional compensation of approx. NOK 306 million plus interest, whereas the Group disputed Westcon's claim and claimed a substantial repayment. The Court decided in favour of the Group that Westcon must repay the Group NOK 344 million plus interest and NOK 10.6 million of legal costs. In April 2018, Westcon has filed an appeal against Stavanger City Court judgement and the Group has filed a counter appeal.
While awaiting the final outcome of the Group considers the amount payable by Westcon to be a contingent asset under IAS 37, and has therefore not recognised the amount per 31 December 2017 & 31 December 2018.
To align with industry practice and purflying of operating expenses, the Group has reclassified special periodic survey costs of the vessels from operating expenses to depreciation. There is no impact to the net operating results, cash flow and tangible assets. The tables below the effect to the income statement, cash flow statement and tangible assets,

In January 2019, the Group was ranked first place in the Brazil auction and it is likely that Petrobras will nominate a batch for Safe Eurus. However, before the contract can be formally awarded, there is still a technical compliance evaluation process to be completed and the commercial terms to be agreed upon between the Group and the dient. Only upon the contract is officially awarded, the Group will make a formal investment decision so to ensure the use of funds are in line with lenders in August 2018. In the situation where no suitable contract can be awarded for Safe Eurus by December 2019, the Group will likely consider to extend terms with COSCO in which COSCO might expect the lay up costs to be paid and with a similar level of layup costs to continue for any extended period. As a result, the accrued lay up costs remain in the book as at December 2018 and further under IAS 37 until the conditions for COSCO to waive the legal obligation are met.

I Interest on debt is in principle floating, but has been he variability of cash flows in the interest payments through the use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements. The company evaluates the hedge profile in relation to the repayment schedule of its loans, the subsidiaries' portfolio of contracts, cash flow and cash in hand. The interest rate risk is largely hedged by the use of interest rate swaps or cap structures for normally 70-100% of the debt.
As of 31 December 2018, the company's hedging agreements totalled USD 1,000 million:

Fair value of interest rate swap and interest cap agreements are estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value estimates the gain or loss that would have been realised if the contracts had been closed out at the balance sheet date.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant forward curves and reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at the balance sheet date. A forward curve shift of ±50bps (2017: ±100bps) is applied in the analysis.

The company ceased hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps on 30 June 2016. Under IFRS 9, when an entity discontinues hedge accounting for a cashflow hedge and the amount accumulated in the cashflow hedge reserve is a loss, this amount should be immediately reclassified from the reserve into profit or loss if the entity does will be recovered in one or more future periods. The company has assessed the discontinued cashflow hedge reserve balance and concluded that the amount is not expected to be recovered in the future periods due to the interest rate development and forward curve. As a consequence of this assessment, the reserve balance of USD 47,985,000 is taken into profit or loss.
The Company's operating expenses are primarily denominated in EUR and the operating result is therefore exposed to currency risk relating to fluctuations in the EUR and NOK exchange rates versus the USD.
The company is exposed to currencies other than USD associated with interest-bearing debt, cash and deposits are mainly denominated in USD, GBP, EUR and NOK and the interest bearing debt to Prosafe AS in NOK.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant exchange rates and reflects on profit or loss and equity assuming that occurred at the balance sheet date. A 10% strengthening/weakening of the USD against NOK, EUR and GBP will have the following effects. Exposures to foreign currency changes for all other currencies are not material.

In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the Group makes active use of a system for planning and forecasting the development of its liquidity, and utilises scenario analyses to secure stable and sound development in order to maintain sufficient cash to cover its financial and operational obligations.
As of 31 December 2018, the Group had an unrestricted liquidity reserve totalling USD 268.5 million (unrestricted cash of USD 131.5 million plus USD 137 million in liquidity reserve under a committed revolving credit facility). Under the existing credity agreements, the Group is required to maintain minimum liquidity of USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for utilisation)
The continued challenging environment in the oil and gas increased the risk of reduced charter revenues in the short and mid term. On the other hand, the refinancing which was completed during 2016 and the spend reductions that have taken place have reduced the liquidity risk.
The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy capital structure in line with economic conditions. The Company manages the total of shareholders' equity and long term debt as their capital. The Company's main tool to assess its capital structure is the leverage ratio, which is calculated by dividing net interest-bearing dank guarantees, by the Group profit/loss before depreciation and impairment over the last 12 months.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information comprises the following:
but does not include the consolidated and the separate financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as required by the Companies Law, Cap.113.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated and separate financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
With regards to 'about Prosafe' and 'key figures' we have nothing to report.
With regards to the 'management report', our report is presented in the "Report on other legal and regulatory requirements" section.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS-EU and the requirements of the Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to either liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's and the Company's financial reporting process.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and separate financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
Pursuant to the requirements of Article 10(2) of EU Regulation 537/2014, we provide the following information, which is required in addition to the requirements of ISAs.
We were first appointed auditors by the General Meeting of the Company's members on 13 May 2015 to audit the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and the Company, respectively. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 4 years covering the periods ending 31 December 2015 to 31 December 2018.

In addition, there are no non-audit services which were provided by us to the Group and which have not been disclosed in the consolidated and separate financial statements.
Pursuant to the additional requirements of law L.53(1)2017, and based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, we report the following:
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as a body in accordance with Section 69 of Law L53(1)/2017 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
